On April 29, 1992, the Rodney King verdict was announced and all hell broke loose! We were out shopping that day, preparing to go out of town in the coming hours. Little did we know that , blood was aboil in the City! After leaving a shoe store, black smoke began [...]

Let’s get it straight once and for all, Don Imus was not fired for calling the Rutgers Women’s Basketball Team, “nappy headed hos”! Don Imus was fired because he verbally assaulted the Rutgers Women, who are were not public personalities and should have been in the media for their personal achievements in their sport! They [...]

Rosie O’Donnel is leaving the view! Why am I not surprised after all of the attacks against her by big networks and personalities like Fox and Donald Trump?
I have watched The View, off and on for several years, and thought that when Star Jones Reynolds left the show that there would not be any more [...]

Leave Rap music alone! Rap is an expression by some people about their life experiences and should only be expressed by the people who experience it! Do not blame rap for your children’s listening habits! It is a parent’s responsibility to supervise and rear their children!
In the case of younger relatives and friends’ children, they [...]

On April 15, 2007, America honored the great black baseball player, Jackie Robinson. It has been 60 years since Jackie broke the color barrier in major league baseball, but he did so at a time of a segregated America. Even though, he was a major sports figure, he stood up for equality in the face [...]

I cannot believe that Sanjaya, “the illusive”, was voted off American Idol! I often watched to see when he might sing better, but each week was a different scratch across a chalkboard, compared to the others! Sanjaya has left the building, yippee!
I am a fan of India’s Bollywood, and think that Sanjaya would make a [...]

Look out hip-hop, here comes “Imus”, a 60 something year old, white man, to take over the rap game. Come on, let’s get real, how is there any comparison to what Don Imus said about the Rutgers’ University Women’s Basketball team and some rapper’s generalized lyrics using “ho” and variations?
Firstly, rappers are not singling [...]

What is it? Everytime a racist remark is made by some notable white person, they run to Rev. Al Sharpton for absolution! Don Imus made a point to talk to Rev. Al Sharpton on the “Al Sharpton Show” today! I think that Rev. Al Sharpton is a visible civil rights figure who stands for justice, [...]

There should be no doubt that racism is alive and kicking in America in the 21st Century! After all of the sacrifices made by Blacks, Whites and Jews to integrate the “so-called” American melting pot since segregation, Don Imus reveals his true thoughts about Black Americans, mumbled by many under breaths! In case you don’t [...]
